to get president's acceptance to submit report on friday compromise is reached on the glove schedule after boutell is won over to re ductions by his associates white house threat of defeat of report and extraordinary session in october brings the standpatters to time washington july 28.-an impasse has practically been reached between the presi dent and the tariff conferees as the situation stands to-night the presi dent must either accept 1.40 on lumber the main point of difference now or have the fight carried to the floor of the house last night's agreement melted under the rays of the morning sun it was made without reckoning with the man in the white house his victory won for free hides and reduced duties on leather goods he met the conferees to-day when they came to him with their tentative agreement with a further demand for reductions iu lumber and an insistence that there must be reduced duties on gloves otherwise ex ecutive disapproval the president's new stand threw the con ferees into the air again they returned to their task and labored all day the announcement is made to-night that they will compromise the differences between the house and senate rates ou gloves in the interest of lower duties and concede 1.40 on lumber committee sent to Taft aldrich and payne have been named as a subcommittee to secure the president's [ acceptance of the plan the payne bill i fixed the duty ou lumber at 1 aldrich ! made it 1.50 half a dozen votes were i taken in conference during the day the i senate conferees voting for 1.50 the house men for 1 meanwhile at the white house the president was backing up the house men at length a compromise was reached late this afternoon on a 1.40 rate this payne and aldrich were delegated to take to the president they were instructed to urge the president to accept it as the very best the conferees can offer failing to secure his acceptance the subcommittee was instructed to this effect that they arc to fix lumber at a rate which they be lieve will be acceptable to both houses close up the report and submit it to the house on friday what the president's attitude will be no one can say to-night over at the white house to-day he was strongly insistent upon 1.25 lumber repeated assurances have beeu given him that the house is behiud him and this would seem to render his course clear if he decides to staud firmly for lumber at 1.25 lumber now delaying bill if he docs there is no doubt that he will win as he did ou the hides proposition moreover under their instructions from the conferees payne and aldrich can insert a rate of 1.25 on lumber in the bill if they deem it advisable they have twenty-four hours ahead of them in which to decide on the surface lumber is all that la holding up the bill now while no figures are obtainable it is known that the glove schedule has been so amended that the rates will be much lower than those pro vided in the house bill and yet slightly higher than the dingley rates which were preserved in the aldrich bill while the president to-day declared to congressional callers that he wanted the senate rates to prevail ou gloves there is reason to believe that he will accept a com promise Taft is said to have told senator aldrich to-day that unless his demauds were met with the report would be defeated and he would call an extraordiuary session for oc tober to make another attempt at down ward revision boutell won over by illinoisani the fight lias been between the president on the one hand and former congressman llttauer of gloversvllle on the other with speaker cannon backing the glove mau both llttauer who represented the high rates on gloves and hosiery and kenneth barnlnrt representing Chicago merchants who want the lower rates were heard by the conferees to-day the break came when representative boutell of Illinois oÂ»e of the house conferees who had been raad lng out for the high rates was won ever by his colleagues from the same state messrs mann foss and wilson it now remains for president Taft to put his o k on the compromise it is be lieved that this will be secured but cou gressmen have learned by this tune not to take anything for granted where Taft lg concerned those who cheered when roose velt went celebrated too soon there are men in the senate office building to-day who are actually wishing that the former president was

to get president's acceptance to submit report on friday compromise is reached on the glove schedule after boutell is won over to re ductions by his associates white house threat of defeat of report and extraordinary session in october brings the standpatters to time washington july 28.-an impasse has practically been reached between the presi dent and the tariff conferees as the situation stands to-night the presi dent must either accept 1.40 on lumber the main point of difference now or have the fight carried to the floor of the house last night's agreement melted under the rays of the morning sun it was made without reckoning with the man in the white house his victory won for free hides and reduced duties on leather goods he met the conferees to-day when they came to him with their tentative agreement with a further demand for reductions iu lumber and an insistence that there must be reduced duties on gloves otherwise ex ecutive disapproval the president's new stand threw the con ferees into the air again they returned to their task and labored all day the announcement is made to-night that they will compromise the differences between the house and senate rates ou gloves in the interest of lower duties and concede 1.40 on lumber committee sent to Taft aldrich and payne have been named as a subcommittee to secure the president's [ acceptance of the plan the payne bill i fixed the duty ou lumber at 1 aldrich ! made it 1.50 half a dozen votes were i taken in conference during the day the i senate conferees voting for 1.50 the house men for 1 meanwhile at the white house the president was backing up the house men at length a compromise was reached late this afternoon on a 1.40 rate this payne and aldrich were delegated to take to the president they were instructed to urge the president to accept it as the very best the conferees can offer failing to secure his acceptance the subcommittee was instructed to this effect that they arc to fix lumber at a rate which they be lieve will be acceptable to both houses close up the report and submit it to the house on friday what the president's attitude will be no one can say to-night over at the white house to-day he was strongly insistent upon 1.25 lumber repeated assurances have beeu given him that the house is behiud him and this would seem to render his course clear if he decides to staud firmly for lumber at 1.25 lumber now delaying bill if he docs there is no doubt that he will win as he did ou the hides proposition moreover under their instructions from the conferees payne and aldrich can insert a rate of 1.25 on lumber in the bill if they deem it advisable they have twenty-four hours ahead of them in which to decide on the surface lumber is all that la holding up the bill now while no figures are obtainable it is known that the glove schedule has been so amended that the rates will be much lower than those pro vided in the house bill and yet slightly higher than the dingley rates which were preserved in the aldrich bill while the president to-day declared to congressional callers that he wanted the senate rates to prevail ou gloves there is reason to believe that he will accept a com promise Taft is said to have told senator aldrich to-day that unless his demauds were met with the report would be defeated and he would call an extraordiuary session for oc tober to make another attempt at down ward revision boutell won over by illinoisani the fight lias been between the president on the one hand and former congressman llttauer of gloversvllle on the other with speaker cannon backing the glove mau both llttauer who represented the high rates on gloves and hosiery and kenneth barnlnrt representing Chicago merchants who want the lower rates were heard by the conferees to-day the break came when representative boutell of Illinois oÂ»e of the house conferees who had been raad lng out for the high rates was won ever by his colleagues from the same state messrs mann foss and wilson it now remains for president Taft to put his o k on the compromise it is be lieved that this will be secured but cou gressmen have learned by this tune not to take anything for granted where Taft lg concerned those who cheered when roose velt went celebrated too soon there are men in the senate office building to-day who are actually wishing that the former president was
